The undersigned propose to publish in Augusta, !
Ga. a weekly paper, to be entitled The Kefoioieb, j
e\tra Imperial size, from the 10th of May to
the 10th of November next, for One Dollar in
advance. As its name indicates, it will be devoted
exclusively to the cause of Reform, the elevation
of WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON, of Ohio, for
president, and JOHN TYnER, of Virginia, for
Vice President, and the subversion of the present :
Administration, —the necessity of reform in which
be oming every day more and more apparent. —
It u i 1 observe a mild, dignified tone, and address j
itself to the common sense of every class of citi
zens, for whose benefit it is designed.
This Prospectus is issued under the impression [
that the friend's of reform will make a united and
zealous effort to give the paper a general circula
tion, in short to send it to the house of every man
who reads. The People want light, and if our
friends will aid us in our work, we shall be able to ;
counteract the thousand calumnies of the Van
Huron presses, and carry the “war into Africa.”— ,
In the language of a distinguished co-worker, “All !
we ask is to be heard by the people. It is for
them we speak, and if we can get a hearing, we
have no fears of the remit,” even in Georgia.— 4 j
“The people will vindicate their wrongs, and hurt ■
their oppressors from office.” $ I
We ask the press throughout this and the ad j
joining States, to insert our Prospectus, and W(f
especially invoke the friends of the cause to b|
vigilant in procuring subscribers and forward thei j
names by mail as eariy as possible.
The paper will contain nothing but leading mat- !
ter, being entirely free from all advertisements, j
and is p aced at so low a price as to bring it within |
the means of every man. *•

The waters of the une mineral spring, near the

r PEDIGREE.
I J. R. H. AcKLiN,Esq. of Huntsville, Alabama,
certifies as follows :— ‘ Tom Tunstall was foaled
mine on the 29th May, 1831. His dam was High
land Mary and her dam a full-blooded Archie mare;
tne sire of Highland Mary was old Pacoleri Tom
Tunstall was sired by old Pacific, and he by old
Sir Archie. This is as far as lam able to go, tho’
I am satisfied Tom Tunstall has descended fiom as
good a stock as any horse in the United States. —
He was a race horse of the first order, but I lear
will never be able to make a first rate race again,
owing to his leg; it was injured when a three year
old, in training, as I believe. By addressing Har
dy Cbyer. Gallatin, Tennessee,you can get a full
pedigree of the dam of Tom Tunstall.” The same
Mr. Hardy Cryer certifies thus: —“ Highland Ma/y
e combined as many or more rich crosses of thorougn
breds than any mare ever raised in Tennessee.—
,’ She was got by the noted horse Pacolct, the son of
a imported Citizen ; her dam Bosey Carey by Sir
t Archie; grand-dam Sally Jones by the imported
[j horse Traveller, called Big Ben or C harlemaine,
o (son of O’Kelle' ’s Eclipse, and one 01 the purest
n importations of the last century;) great grand-dam
by the imported horse Wrangler, great-great-grand
dam U’Possum by imported Shark; great-great
great-grand-dam by the celebrated American quar
ter race horse, Goode’s old Twigg; great-greal-
I, great-great-grand-dam by imported Kearnaught;
4 great-greal-great-great-great-grand-dam by Lee’s
■ old Mark Anthony out of a mate by imported Mou
- key.” On the sire’s side it is deemed unnecessary
n to trace be% - ond Sir Archie. It is presumed none
will require a purer or better attested pede_greel—
